That said, in NFHS, I have a T. NCAA enforcement has a different threshold of acceptable behavior, though. College coaches are dealing with legal adults, and therefore get away with a greater deal of swearing and other antics that shouldn't be allowed in scholastic basketball. I'm not sure where that line is among NCAA officials and supervisors; I'm leaving it those here who have been there to inform us.

I'm going to simply say that while some coaches may get the benefit of the doubt on this at the college level, the fact that he had spent the previous minutes bitching about a call pretty much eliminates that benefit.
And to whoever said (I don't feel like finding who it was) he "knocked it down", that's not even close to what happened. He threw it on purpose. The target of his ire may be in dispute, but he didn't "knock it down."
